摘要: Food insecurity is defined as a limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially ways, availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods. While effective antiretroviral treatment can significantly increase CD4 counts the majority patients, there are certain populations who remain at relatively low count levels. Factors possibly associated with poor recovery have been extensively studied, but association between food inconsistent literature. The objective systematically review published literature determine among HIV-infected people. PubMed, Web Science, ProQuest ABI/INFORM Complete, Ovid Medline EMBASE Classic, plus bibliographies relevant studies were searched up May 2015, where earliest database coverage started from 1900. Studies that quantitatively assessed people eligible for inclusion. Study results summarized using random effects model. A total 2093 articles identified through electronic search manual bibliographic search, which 8 included this meta-analysis. insecure had 1.32 times greater odds having lower compared secure (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.15-1.53) on average 91 fewer cells/µl their counterparts (mean difference = -91.09, -156.16, -26.02). could be potential barrier immune measured by
